When I'm on data, my phone is stuck on EDGE or GPRS when it should go up to 3G or H+. I've tried restarting my phone, turning wifi on and off, turning data on and off and made sure my settings looked okay. Any help is appreciated!
Cataclysm 11/26, Franco r14, dalvik patch. And if it's relevant, I'm on Rogers wireless.
I'm not sure but doesn't Rogers use global frequency in which case you need the 821 model?
I've definitely had 3G and H+ on my N5 (abbreviations much?), but it just seems very inconsistent. It'll go from H+ to 3G, back to H+, then cut out completely, then sit on E or G for a while. Just trying to pinpoint the issue because it's getting annoying haha. Perhaps it's the frequency that's screwing it up but that's definitely not my area of expertise. I do have the D820 model if that's helpful.
I'm having exactly the same problem with Fido right now, I tried pretty much everything including
- flashing back the factory image
- tried every modems from the xda thread in the Nexus 5 Android Development section (currently my phone is on the D821 modem but it didn't change anything)
- changing my apn (but it was obvious that this was not the problem since the phone had a edge connection.
I'm really about to call Fido...
Still, I'm kinda glad to see that i'm not alone.
maybe that the data service in your personal area?
Well going back and forth between 3G and H is normal. It picks up H/H+ when receiving/transmitting and goes to 3G when idle to save power.

I called Fido, the technical support told me that they had something that was blocking me from 3G (but he didn't tell me what it was, he just told me that something was blocking me...) I had my beloved H+ back for maybe a whole minute and then it just switched back to Edge network.
All I wanted to know was if many customers have reported the problem or if I were alone...
Maybe if I'm lucky my phone will get back its 3G soon just like you.
I'm still having the issue today.
I called back Fido and they tried different things like desactiving/activing back my line, "updating my line" and more without any success.
Then I called google and told them the problem. They will change my Nexus 5 for a brand new but at the same time I feel like it is a software issue and not an hardward one... Well, we'll see, I never had a problem like that with any other phone before and the Nexus 5 never had any problem with 3G before yesterday.
I haven't tried everything yet, maybe you could try :
If you are in a LTE area, can the Nexus 5 connect itself to this network? Nearest LTE area from where I live is like 40 minutes away, bit too far just for a test.
Try with a sim card from another company like Telus or Bell, is the phone connecting to the 3G network? (I though about this while calling Google..)
Well, hope that the next phone will be ok.
Here are the few pictures just to show you a proof that even when I request a webpage, the phone will stays on 2g only.

Thanks for the update mark1s. Definitely let me know if a new phone fixes anything, although I'm also thinking it's a software problem.
The problem could just be that there happens to be patches of low coverage in the areas we're testing this out, which seems unlikely in big cities. But testing at work seems to have this problem, but testing this at home I pick up 3G and H+ just fine. Odd..
I literally can't get any calls while connected to LTE. They all go to voicemail. I have been trying to figure this out for days. As soon as I turn off LTE I get calls on 3g with no problems. It also appears that when I'm on LTE if I make a call it had to drop to 3g before the call connects. Data works just fine. I have called sprint but they were less than helpful, updated prl and profile, and tried it in multiple different towns. Anyone have an idea of what to try next?

Whoops accidental thanks lol. If u check the other threads u will know that the way the new tri band phone's work, when on LTE all u get is data, on 3g u get voice and data, so while Ur connected to lte the only way to make or receive calls is for your phone to switch to 3g. This process should be automatic unless u manually changed something to force the phone one lte only.

That is so false because when I'm on LTE at my local mall, I can send and receive texts just fine.... the OP must've messed with some sort of setting is my guess..?
I have not messed with any settings. This has been happening from day 1. It took me about an hour after I got home from the Sprint store to notice that all calls were going directly to voicemail when I'm on 4G. As soon as I turn off 4G I get all my calls with no problem. I have tried updating prl and profile as I said before, but I don't appreciate people assuming I changed some setting when I'm telling you I didn't change anything. When I'm on 4G there is a spark icon that is constantly showing and the signal bar is always showing 1 bar. I don't know if that's part of the problem or not. If anyone has a serious suggestion to help instead of just assuming I caused this please let me know. Thanks.

Actually text over lte is possible but voice over lte doesnt work for us.

If I read correctly on the s4gru website then the reason ur having this issue is because the tower is missing the 3g upgrade that handles this handoff which is called Circuit Switched Fallback*or enhanced Circuit Switched Fallback. Here's a link to the s4gru page with this info if u wish to learn more about it.

False again. When at the mall I can make/receive calls as well. You CANNOT use data and be on a call at the same time though (like I could on my S4).

So what your saying is that everything that we know about tri band phones is false? The tri band phones only have 1 antenna so it is impossible to use voice when connected to lte period. When u make a call Sprint kicks you off lte in order to use voice and when the call ends Sprint reconnects you to lte.
eCSFB Gap Issue – What you Need to know:
Smart devices require eCSFB to “fall back” to 3G to accept a voice call if the user is connected to the LTE network.

Because I thought he said that you can't receive calls or make calls if you are on 4G LTE. Which you can, but once you dial out, or accept the call, you have no data.
Simple miscommunication!!

I never said you can't get a call while on 4G. I said I can't receive a call while my phone is on 4G. Something about my phone or area of service causes my phone not to switch to 3g for incoming calls so the phone never rings

i've been having the same problem! I live on the outskirts of the spark network so i only get the regular lte at home. and i dont believe the towers have been upgraded here yet because i wont recieve calls or texts unless i call out on my phone which forces lte off for 3g etc. but if i drive 15 min. north where the "spark" network is deployed then i'll recieve my calls and texts appropriately because the towers are upgraded there.
so sadly i keep my phone on wifi and cdma mode while at home then whenever i go out i have to switch it to lte/cdma and restart the phone so i can utilize lte while im in a "spark" area.
its tedious and sometimes i forget to switch back when i get home.. its such a pain. Leave it to sprint to deploy phones before their network is even ready for them.

Well the places without the 3g upgrades is not that big so they probably just decided to jump on to tri band even though development wasn't complete. It's like saying they should of waited not not sold any LTE devices until they finished deploying LTE, which means they would of still had old devices being sold.

well i understand that but at least when they first started selling the lte devices; the devices would still received calls and texts. because even though the lte may not have been upgraded/deployed or whatever yet. the cell phones themselves were compatible with the old network as is. but with these spark devices, they are deploying phones that may or may not work (the main point of a phone is being able to send/receive calls or texts etc) depending on where you are because half of the towers aren't upgraded for csfb
"Circuit Switched Fallback is a great solution to the issue of Sprint Triband LTE smartphones. But the problem here is that the Sprint network is being upgraded in Network Vision, and not all Sprint parts of the Sprint network can currently support CSFB. And it affects all Sprint Triband LTE phones, not just the Nexus 5 and LG G2." quote from http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog%2...-technology/
and the problem here is the phone is supposed to be able to detect that the lte towers in my area dont have csfb and therefore switch back to cdma. But it doesnt, so it stays connected to lte and i never receive any calls or texts. but when i drive north to a spark network area the csfb works appropriately. So this leads me to believe its a network issue and not that my phone is a lemon.
idk maybe im just blowing hot air here but its frustrating that the most important part of my phone does not work properly for whatever reason in my hometown where i spend most of my time.

I know it's the reason I got rid of LG g2 but the only thing to do right now is put the phone in cdma only and keep checking if they upgrade towers yet

According to S4GRU what you are saying is wrong. In order for your phone to ring it kicks you off LTE. Circuit Switched Fallback. When you are connected to LTE your phone receives 0 CDMA signals (this includes voice). When sprint is trying to send voice to your phone, if the CDMA cannot be routed to your phone, the LTE network is checked for your phone, if found the LTE network drops you so the CDMA signal can get to your phone.
Give it a try. Make sure you are connected to LTE and data is in use. Have someone call your phone. Watch your LTE indicator change to grayed out, and switch to CDMA before your phone starts ringing.

No ISH, you still receive the call though, that's what I am trying to say..................
This whole thing is extremely depressing, just got this phone today and it's one of the first things I relized..sure I can put it on 3g and sit tight like that but come on the whole point in getting the newest flagship is how it's better than everything else, and sprint can't make it work right (yet). I noticed with my area that as long as the data is not actively loading a page or downloading it will switch to 3g and calls will come in but if it's load strait to voicemail..hope they get it all fixed the way it's supposed to be soon enough.
My S3 died last week and was replaced by the S5. I am in a Spark area and so far am impressed. My issue is that I have been using the Airave to make and receive calls @ home and the office - figures, the 2 places where I spend most of my time there is literally no service. The Airave sorted that. UNTIL, the S5... 4G/Spark isn't compatible with the S5. Unless, I manually switch my phone to 3G. It's not that big of a deal, but it is one more thing to do. The Airave tech support told me that I needed to get the WiFi Calling app. It wasn't on my stock build when I purchased the phone. I did receive an update within a few days, but that didnt have the feature. Sprint told me that an update was coming that offered this feature but didn't know when. I really don't want to wait for months.
Can anyone post/send me the wi-fi calling apk that will work with this thing?? I really dont want to root and rom this handset.
Thanks in advance!

S3 -> S5 also with poor signal at home. I have Sprints Airvana for a year now. S5 works just fine right out of the box, did nothing. Without the Airvana I have to be upstairs, stand on a chair and hold the phone up in the air to get any signal at all.
You could try and go into settings/network connections/more networks/mobile networks and change to auto in network mode

Yes, That's what I have to do now. But, I have to remember to do it. I'm not so bright sometimes. Then I have to remember to turn it off when I leave so that I can take advantage of the Spark service in my area. It would be so much easier to remove the Airave and simply activate the wi-fi calling feature.

DO NOT LEAVE IT IN "AUTO".
You will be UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE AIRAVE unless your are in "CDMA ONLY".
Go to
settings/network connections/more networks/mobile networks
and change to CDMA .
( Do NOT select CDMA/LTE until you LEAVE the Airave vicinity)
If you are indeed connected to the Airave, you will hear a recording telling you that you are if you call *99.
You will have to re-enable the CDMA/LTE everytime you leave the vicinity of the Airave to get LTE service.
Sprint Tier II Tech informed be of the above, and I have verified it all by personally testing the above.
Now, here is the real question:
What are the EXACT DIFFERENCES between using the "Wi-Fi Calling Feature" with NO Airave - AND- using the Airave WITHOUT using W-Fi Calling.????
Has anyone noticed the loss of Internet connection when you are on a phone call? I just got my Note Edge on Verizon and I can not be on the phone and use the Internet or anything else that needs a data connection. And the notification panel shows I no longer have a 4G-LTE connection but instead it shows 1X when on a phone call.

The note edge doesn't come shipped with that function.
Well that kinda stinks. I have got used to that function from my previous phones, the Note 2 and Note 3. Not to mention I always made fun of a buddy of mine that uses iPhone and he has never had that function until he got his new iPhone 6 (maybe the iPhone 5s). Oh well, guess I will have to make do.
That's the way it's supposed to work for now. You just have to hope and pray that VOLTE eventually comes to your area.
don't feel bad. us sprint users have the same problem. i think the gsm phones do it but cdma doesn't
Whats funny is my Sprint Note 3 was able to do VOLTE. But not the Note Edge.
Only thing like that now is if your connected to Wi-Fi you can use surf the web and talk at the same time.

yes the sprint note 3 was a different lte. it wasn't a spark device. all phones that use spark are like that. no voice and data at the same time. funny how the "better" things that we move to don't always seem better
I found out if you go to settings then advanced calling and subscribe to advanced calling you can talk and surf the Web at the same time without WiFi.

Yeah noticed that too. Coming from a HTC One M8 I was really disappointed in that not working ;(
I've also noticed what seems to be antenna issues, wifi drops A LOT! and blue tooth cuts in and out in my truck.
Not sure if it's software or if I need to swap out for a new device due to faulty hardware.

Go to advance calling in setting. Click the button to on. Then go to your app drawer. Make sure My Verizon signed in. Power off your device. Turn your device back on. Make a 1-800-call to try it out. Problems fixed
I don't understand why Verizon does this. But they do. And to give you heads up. If your on the phone and surfing the net. Your going to eat more data. Your voice calling. Becomes data calling.. And this will only work on 4g.

Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)
I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...
I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.
I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.
I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.

Can anyone tell me if wifi calling works yet?

It does not. Used my OnePlus 7 Pro for a couple of days and no WiFi calling.
